2 ASSESSING THE CHALLENGES OF LOCAL HISTORY DIGITIZATION 2 Abstract The purpose of this proposal is to analyze the costs and benefits of digitizing archival media. A descriptive survey will be conducted via questionnaire to ascertain experiences of twenty large, twenty medium, and twenty small public libraries that have completed the project of digitizing all or part of their local history archive. The answers will be analyzed through content analysis. This analysis will result in a better understanding of real world experiences with media digitization, and will inform future media digitization projects. This is important because ongoing budget shortfalls require careful decisions regarding new technology purchases and implementations.
3 ASSESSING THE CHALLENGES OF LOCAL HISTORY DIGITIZATION 3 Introduction The purpose of this proposal is to analyze the costs and benefits of digitizing archival media. The basic reasoning behind this research study is to create a collaboration of shared experiences for others to refer to in order to make informed decisions when similar archive digitization projects. Media digitization is inevitable due to its value in a digital communications environment. The digitization of media requires the use of conversion equipment, and ongoing changes in digital hardware and software technology is a long-term storage issue. It is important to learn about what the digitization process has been like for librarians in recent years. The following study is to be conducted because there are many questions to be answered about, and potentially-unforeseen pitfalls involved in, the newly-common practice of media digitization projects. In this study, physical archives refers to primary resource artifacts--such as hand-written letters on parchment--contained in historical archives. Digital archives generally refers to digital copies of physical archive artifacts; digital copies are attempt to extract as much usable information about the physical artifact as possible, by means of precision photographic replication, as well as added details about the original artifact. Metadata consists of the details added to the digital copy of the physical artifact, such as when the artifact was created, or the context of its content. Often, digital files have built-in metadata capabilities that allow one to attach data about the data to the data file. Data files have specific formats, such as jpeg and tiff (common file name extensions for images), that are used as standards by which software code creators can base their designs, and file users can share their information. Also, while information is more commonly being shared via the world wide web, data is being stored not at

The increase of offsite file and application access is culminating in a concept known as cloud computing. Literature Review Now more than ever, libraries should be addressing the issue of digitization. For example, a library's local history section has the opportunity for greater relevance to its community--and visibility abroad--by digitizing its collection and making it available online. The purpose of this proposal is to analyze the challenges of digitizing archival media. With regard to public archives, and specifically local history archives, it is found that many digitization projects face similar challenges and endure these challenges for the sake of similar foreseeable benefits. Available literature on this topic discusses costs, benefits, and techniques of resource digitization. From a short-term perspective, a digitization of archived material may seem inequitable; initially, the monetary and social gain will not outweigh the equipment and labor costs. From a long-term perspective, such a project will bring increased social enrichment, non-local interest in the region's history, and viability of the library's importance to its community. While a physical archive has a longer shelf-life than digital archives, a digital archive has much greater accessibility (Singh, 2009). A digital archive can be made available online to anyone wishing to learn more about its contents, regardless of their physical location. This "virtual presence" of the archive allows for greater visibility, and software is available that converts written and printed text into a format that computers recognize as letters, allowing users to search entire collections of archived documents based on single words or phrases (Sutherland, 2008). The online environment of a digital archive is one that allows users to contribute to the archive by uploading their own digitized archival materials (Ranft, 2008); furthermore, users can contribute their own
5 ASSESSING THE CHALLENGES OF LOCAL HISTORY DIGITIZATION 5 historical metadata to digital archive materials. On the other hand, the physical archive must continue to be maintained for long-term storage; therefore, preservation costs increase as physical and digital archives require unique forms of maintenance. Due the ephemeral nature of digital media, artifacts of importance are often saved at more than one physical location. This helps to avert the danger of data being lost due to a local disaster, for example. There are offsite options such as that provided by cloud computing, where a library could save a copy of their digital archive at a far-off location. While digital storage costs are rapidly decreasing, the necessary redundancy of digital storage will add to maintenance costs. In addition, the local storage of digital information will require space for servers, computer discs, etc. Another issue arises due to the fast-paced changes in computer technology (Ranft, 2008). For example, if the computer discs used to store one's digital archive become obsolete, special retrofitting equipment will be needed to read the discs, or (perhaps, inevitably) the data will have to be copied onto new storage devices. In addition to storage mediums, the format of data files must be carefully addressed. If the format is made for a specific type of software, it may quickly become unusable, as more stable or popular formats dominate future software standards. Another factor that must be accounted for is one's choice of digital conversion equipment, for example specialized document scanning hardware and text reading software. Because there are so many important decisions to be made in creating digital archives, it is important to learn about what digitization projects have been like for libraries in recent years. The following study is to be conducted because there are a lot of questions to be answered about, and potentially-unforeseen pitfalls involved in, the newly-common practice of media digitization projects. While there are long-term benefits to archive digitization projects,
6 ASSESSING THE CHALLENGES OF LOCAL HISTORY DIGITIZATION 6 the costs in money and planning are important decision factors. Nevertheless, the air of inevitability increases as society becomes more networked and information availability more immediate. A library planning to begin a digital archive project has much to gain from surveying technology's impact on current preservation work, as well as how to plan for the future based on past successes and mistakes in preservation work. A survey of local history archive digitization projects in the U.S. will thus serve to cast a greater net of perspective on how best to implement current and future archive digitization. Method Research Design A descriptive survey will be the chosen research design for discovering the experiences of local history, archival, and/or administrative library faculty in a structured manner. Using the descriptive survey design, the results will allow for an over-all impression of digital archiving projects, compared to observing a single instance of the project locally. While quantitative measurements are valuable and possible to gather using a survey, and quantifiable observations will be made, it is not the objective of this research study. Sample to Be Studied The sample to be studied consists of sixty public libraries that have completed the project of digitizing all or part of their local history archive. Depending on the size of the institution's collection, the chosen library sample will be stratified into three categories: Small, medium, and large institutions. Stratification by size is chosen to enable organizations benefiting from this study to compare the data collected and analyzed to their own institution relative to size. Data Collection and Analysis
7 ASSESSING THE CHALLENGES OF LOCAL HISTORY DIGITIZATION 7 Data will be collected using a questionnaire [see appendix for the questionnaire.] A questionnaire will be sent by physical mail to each institution. After four months, follow-up letters will be sent to non-respondents, and after nine months, the returned questionnaires will be analyzed. Content analysis will be done by comparing the size and budget of each library to its project budget and duration decisions; comparing the digital storage formats chosen for archiving; and comparing the words used to describe the projects. Limitations The specification of public libraries with digital archive projects in their local history department was specified for two reasons. The first is that the limitation allows for a more uniform sample of digitization project types. The second is that local history archives have the generalizable property of being both archival and open to the public. Validity and Reliability Accounting for validity, the research design, sample, data collection and analysis, and limitations will be carefully chosen in order to generate results that are generalizable to the study's audience--small, medium, and large library institutions with an interest in starting a historical archive digitization project. To account for reliability, the questionnaire asks questions in a manner that facilitates answers that are measurable using content analysis. The questionnaire is structured to gather sufficient details on each project in such a way that the results are generalizable. Concluding Remarks The analysis of data gathered by the study will result in a better understanding of real world experiences with archival media digitization, and will inform future media digitization projects. The results are expected to show that the majority of libraries with local history archive
8 ASSESSING THE CHALLENGES OF LOCAL HISTORY DIGITIZATION 8 digitization projects chose the project as a way to add visibility and value to their collection, while some will cite their decision as a secondary preservation method. Also, it is projected that the number of fiscal years set for each project is related to both the size of the physical archive and annual budgets relative to other ongoing or planned projects. While data formats used are expected to be fairly uniform, it is expected that large libraries will have purchased higher capacity digitization equipment than medium and small libraries, and that large libraries and medium libraries will have purchased different digitization software than small libraries. Also, the size of individual archives is expected to be contributing factor to digitization hardware and software decisions. The study will be valuable in that its details will inform future media digitization projects; further, it will chronicle an important time period when historical preservation was profoundly impacted the mid-level stages of a fast-paced area of technological advancement.
